Big lots. Very low key. No full hook up sites but electric and water. Beautiful place to camp. No bathroom or bathhouse only very clean Porta potties. Loved the late check out time!

It's a decent location, I wish they had more mature trees in the camping areas. The bathrooms are nice and cleaned regularly. They are port a pots type. The fishing from shore was good. The kids enjoyed that as much as I did. We caught bass, bluegill, and crappie. There is ticks there so watch yourself and your loved ones.
